Latin Jazz Band Concert Review

Concert Review: Mark Towns Latin Jazz Band @ Dolphin Street, Saturday January 25, 2003
By Jim Shortt, published in The Bayrunner

Wow! Instrumentally, bona fide virtuoso guitarist Towns and his all-star band were
nothing short of sensational. …an exuberant, high-energy exhibition that repeatedly
brought down the jam-packed house. This show was big league stuff. Bravo!
Bravo! Look for a return engagement. Towns’ CD, Flamenco Jazz Latino, featuring
saxophonist Kirk Whalum, jazz flute legend Hubert Laws, and Cuban pianist
Rainel Pino, is fantastic.
